Instructions

Have child close eyes/blindfold/turn around and have the adult remove one object

Child guesses which object is missing

Repeat three times removing one of the four objects

Simplify

For the first turn, let child remove an object and keep it hidden while the adult, who had closed his eyes, says aloud what object was taken. Adult should point to the spot where the object was taken. Next, have child close eyes, and adult removes the same object the child had removed. Point to the spot where the object was removed and ask child to name the object. Repeat in this manner for all four objects. You could also begin by using only two objects and removing one of them.

Extend

Remove two of the four objects and see if child can name the two objects. Next, try removing three of the four objects and finally remove all four objects for child to tell you the name of the objects.

Materials

four small toys/objects (crayon, match box car, plastic figure, etc.)
